Descriptions
Object Description
Leather dance ornament, tan in color, composed of three pieces of leather. One piece is stitched to form a loop on top, obviously to facilitate attachment. Two pieces of leather are stitched together to form the length and the loop on top. The third piece is attached to the middle of the length and forms a fringe. The ends of both fringes are decorated with metal pieces which "jingle". A small strip of leather divided in three was loose but appears to have been attached where strip is missing.
